Chapter 1123: Nutritious Archbishop

Nutritious Archbishop

Chen Ling could feel that a stream of Red Star Aspiration Power was continuously pouring into his body along with his Red Paper tentacles. The efficiency was much higher compared to last time when he ate raw in the Red Dust Domain. Not only was there not a single drop wasted, but the form was also more elegant.

The Red Star Aspiration Power was swallowed and converted by this body. Closely following, the originally slowly growing Fifth-Tier Spiritual Power began to climb visibly to the naked eye, like having eaten some kind of tonic, making Chen Ling's whole body feel refreshed!

He closed his eyes, enjoying the power brought by swallowing the Red Star Aspiration Power. Scorching airflow drifted out from the corners of his lips...

"Hoo..."

Chen Ling slowly opened his eyes.

Although he didn't know why, these Scarlet Heaven Cultists containing Red Star Aspiration Power were indeed a great tonic for him. Other humans seemed to have no feeling towards this, otherwise if eating the Scarlet Heaven Cult could increase Spiritual Power, perhaps those higher-ups of the Human Domains would have long united to crazily encircle and suppress the Scarlet Heaven Cult, rather than treating them like rats in the gutter.

Looking at it this way, Red Star Aspiration Power was only a great tonic for the Calamity of Mockery... Or, was it only a great tonic for World-Ending Calamities?

Chen Ling couldn't figure out the reason behind it, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Whatever the principle behind it was, right now Chen Ling only wanted to swallow more. These three ordinary Scarlet Heaven Cultists were at most just an appetizer for him.

Creak——

The sound of the Grim Reaper pushing the door rang out again.

"Zheng Ye? What's the matter?"

"You guys come here, I'll show you something good..."

Pfft——!!

The Red Paper monster opened its ferocious fangs, madly swallowing the lives and blood of the three Scarlet Heaven Cultists. The fish-belly white slowly rose on the horizon, and the faint light reflected on the desperate ground, leaving behind afterimages of wildly dancing tentacles.

A few minutes later, Chen Ling draped in a red robe staggered out from the house while licking his lips...

Like an elegant diner strolling in a buffet.

House after house was slaughtered by Chen Ling. In the deathly silence unnoticed by anyone, the number of Scarlet Heaven Cultists was rapidly decreasing. By the time the sun completely rose and Chen Ling came out from the sixth house, the original forty-five Scarlet Heaven Cultists had already sharply decreased to twenty-seven.

Just as Chen Ling was preparing to enter the seventh house, a burst of hurried urn-knocking sounds came over, echoing within the entire village.

The foot Chen Ling had just stepped half a step out with quickly withdrew, and backhandedly he closed the door again.

"Discovered?"

Chen Ling's brow slightly wrinkled.

Chen Ling felt his movements were already fast enough, but these Scarlet Heaven Cultists lived scattered. Wanting to silently kill everyone was not easy. Chen Ling considered this point. After killing people, he had already compressed all their shriveled corpses and hid them in the corners of the beams, which could delay the time the corpses were discovered. But as long as this group of Scarlet Heaven Cultists began searching, finding the corpses was also sooner or later.

In the worst case scenario, Chen Ling could only face the Scarlet Heaven Cultists of the whole village alone.

But very quickly Chen Ling perceived the abnormality. As the urn-knocking sound rang out, numerous Scarlet Heaven Cultists walked out of the rooms, but they didn't go to those few slaughtered houses, instead swarming towards the direction of the village entrance.

Chen Ling hid in the house. Borrowing the gap of the window, he looked towards the direction of the village entrance.

Dim sunlight cast from above the cliff. Between the narrow and long path, a few figures were walking towards this village...

That "person" leading the way was tall like an ape, carrying an unknown withered plant on his shoulder. The thick roots and leaves were dragged on the ground like garbage. Behind him followed two Bishops draped in red robes. One person was dragging Jiang Xiaohua's body creating dents on the ground, and the other person was dragging two unconscious figures with both hands respectively, walking slowly forward.

"Archbishop? Isn't it usually Bishops who come for worship on ordinary days? Why did an Archbishop come this time??"

"One Archbishop, two Bishops... This lineup is rare ah?"

"Is it because of the matter regarding those two Fusionists reported the night before yesterday? Probably the Main Headquarters attaches great importance to it, so they specially sent an Archbishop over... After all, if it really is the Integration Faction playing tricks, the matter is still very troublesome."

"What are they dragging in their hands? Sacrifices brought from the Main Headquarters?"

"Don't know... looks like Calamities."

Whispering sounds came from the crowd. As the Archbishop and the others approached, these ordinary Scarlet Heaven Cultists knelt down on the spot one after another, their foreheads pressing against the ground, incomparably respectful.

Behind the window gap, Chen Ling saw the Archbishop walking at the very front from afar, directly freezing in place...

In the next moment,

Crystal-clear saliva uncontrollably rolled down from the corners of his mouth.

Chen Ling had never smelled such an alluring scent. It was like all the dishes of a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast were concentrated into a drop of perfume. Just a light sniff directly made Chen Ling starving... It took a long while for him to realize he had lost his composure somewhat, silently wiping away the saliva, but his gaze towards the Archbishop was still full of craving.

When Chen Ling was in the Red Dust Domain, he had only tasted the flavor of the Bishop level. Just the Red Star aura contained in those two Bishops exceeded the sum of all the Scarlet Heaven Cultists at that time, directly making Chen Ling's Spiritual Power break through one and a half Ranks.

But the Archbishop not wearing clothes in front of his eyes, the concentration of Red Star Aspiration Power was even above the two Bishops! If ordinary Scarlet Heaven Cultists were compared to snacks, and Bishops were seen as big fish and meat, then the Archbishop in front of his eyes could already be considered a ginseng-level tonic!

Chen Ling had a premonition, if he swallowed the Archbishop, perhaps the increased Spiritual Power would be enough to support him charging to the Sixth Stage, or even higher.

At this moment, Chen Ling's mind was only left with one thought:

Eat him!

No matter what method, eat him!

Chen Ling tried his best to restrain the craving in his heart. After sweeping a glance at the unknown object on the Archbishop's shoulder, he naturally looked towards the back... When he saw the few people dragged by those two Bishops, astonishment flashed in his eyes.

"How come it's them??"

Chen Ling absolutely didn't expect to be able to encounter Jian Changsheng and the other two here. One must know, this was the Scarlet Heaven Sect Branch in the depths of the Gray World. The humans who could come here could be counted on one's fingers...

Shouldn't the three of them be executing the Dusk Society's mission in some Human Domain?

While Chen Ling was puzzled over a hundred times, the numerous Scarlet Heaven Cultists also couldn't help asking:

"Archbishop, Bishops... What you are dragging is..."

The Archbishop didn't even look at them, carrying Jack of Diamonds and the bone club straight ahead. The Bishop behind only opened his mouth when passing by:

"@!&&...#￥&￥..."

"So it's like this." The leading Scarlet Heaven Cultist came to a sudden realization.

Chen Ling: ???

Chen Ling didn't hear any human language, only hearing a burst of messy sounds like ape cries. But ironically this group of Scarlet Heaven Cultists seemed to have understood, nodding one after another, and looking at the Jian Changsheng trio with incomparably subtle gazes.
